Well, according to a Google search, it determines whether graphics are
processed by the CPU, which can cause a resource drain for some, or by the
software on a video card. Try Googling it for a better answer. Or, try
checking or unchecking the box and see how it works on your system. You can
always change the checkbox.

Hello people,
Before I go disabling the Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration, check box
could you please advise me what it does, or more to the point will Jaws stop
telling me when there is a graphic?
Thanks
Kevin.

Hi Adrian & Jean,
When checking the, Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration, checkbox my
settings wouldn't stick until I checked the, prompt to update style,
checkbox. To get to this checkbox the keystroke is, Alt + Y, on the
Advanced tab. And yes, after checking the, Disable Hardware Graphics
Acceleration, checkbox I did tab to the Okay button & press enter to save
the change.
Why wouldn't my settings stick until I checked the, prompt to update style,
checkbox? I'll be the first to admit that I don't know / understand what
most of these settings mean in Word! LOL
All input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
Take care.
Mike

Thanks, Jean and Mike. I missed the checkbox my first time through, but
found it immediately with Mike's alt-g. Mine was already checked, meaning
disabled, but it sounds like a useful tip. I may as well list the steps from
start to finish, at least as I got there:
1. Open a document in Word. Note. This works in 2010 as well as 2013.
2. Press alt-f for file, t for options.
3. Shift-control-tab to Advance.
4. Press tab once to get inside this area.
5. Press alt-g to get to the accelerator checkbox.

Hi All,
If you want to get to the, Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration, checkbox
much quicker while on the Advanced tab use the keystroke, Alt + G.
Take Care.

Just thought I’d share this for those who want to try it.
The symptom. I’ve often found sluggish performance in Word when searching,
or when opening a second document. Jaws seems to either not be able to read
a screen without refreshing, or, in searching, it would sometimes take two
tries to get to the results. Just plain sluggish.
In going through settings, I came across an option to “Disable Hardware
Graphics Acceleration”. I checked that and things seem to be much more
responsive now. I’ll see how the day goes. But if anyone wants to do this,
go into Options, Advanced, and the item is in there. From what I read on
Google, if you change it in one MS program, it should affect all of them.
Hey, I don’t need graphics anyway. haha.
Hope this works.
Jean
